close enough, your just jealous because you don't have EFI :tonguefinger:

I have that manual too, its a piece of sh!t. Get the factory service manual = SO much better. You don't have the circular air intake because your truck is EFI not carburated like the 87-89 models. does your engine look like this: ?

If you take care of it, it will last a long friggin time, my dad told me yesterday, that if the frame didn't rot out, he'd stil be driving the 93 that he gave me, It has 340k kilometers which is roughly 220k miles? It runs damn well, and was maintained at the intervals in the manual. I'd say, mechanically, its in better shape than ANY of the gm, ford, or chrysler trucks in this hole area with that many miles on them, because id like to see a gmc jimmy with that much milage with such low repair bills (like 3 things went wrong in that time frame) They are probably the best suv ever. period. I haven't seen one that could take more of a beating and still run great. Check the garage section and the how to's and you'll find a wealth of info.

I want to see pictures of your engine bay, suspension and steering system. Cause I want whatever enables you to do chit like that

well if it handles better without the tie rods it'd probably be bad a$$ if you disconnect the ball joints

They don't look too bad the way they are now, but maybe they just need a cleaning, i haven't really looked into it yet as im trying to get a steering knuckle and spindle and everything after that!

53 inch tires? HOLY CHIT BATMAN Where did those come from Well there is one difference you're going a lot faster on the road. But to each his own. I drive crazy sometimes but try to stay safe. I guess if you know your trucks limits....

My truck used to enjoy driving untill the frame went to hell But I've got a new one to get me around, and I'm going to try and rebuild my old one. So if you're rebuilding anything i am, i'd like to seen how you do it.

Those look awesome, now is there anything I can do to the chrome ones that my new pathy has? Im going to put my legos and 31s on but I'd like to have a second set of decent looking rims

If yours is a 93 like you sig states the CC will be on your signal lever with a master switch beside your rear defroster switch, thats how it is in my 93

Mine looked quite solid before I took off the tires and gave it a real hard look, But yours could very well be in good shape. But if there are any holes get it reinforced ASAP and then POR-15 it.

Or just slap it on and get the whole truck repainted while your at it.....

ahh i remember driving right through harrisburg in the 93 pathy on the way to virginia where my dads friend lives. done that trip a few times. I hate rust, you really gotta nip it in the bud though, or else it'll turn into this:

you sound as determined as i am for restoring my first one. Where are you from, that'll tell us a lot about how much frame rot you can expect.

My dad gave me mine , well my first one and im planning on keeping it for a looong time as well as my new one. But to keep it running just get whatevers leaking fixed, replace the broken stuff and don't let the rust get out of hand, especially on the frame, you might want to bang on it with a hammer and see if theres any holes, as then you'll know how rusted it really is. My rust got out of hand....bad. Other than that, if you can keep on top of the maitenance, it'll last pratically forever and a day.

Your always supposed to stop when going in and out of 4lo unless you really wanna eff something up

Do they really last any longer anyways? Or should i just take my motomaster eliminator out of my other one? sorry for the thread hi jack

I needed a battery and went to canadian tire up here in canada, and the one that the computer said is the right one was like 675CCA. I told them to get me the most powerful one. I now have 1085crank amps and 885CCA's and it starts first try even in -45 weather. When I get my new truck, im gonna get a yellow top because the one in it now is going and I run an inverter like simon. Except his is probably alot more powerfull (mines 175watts)

my 93 has that. I also have this wierd thing that snaps in with the ashtray, its not the one that replaces the ashtray though, its wierd.

At least you can go far with the low gas light although i've only done it a couple times. Our 3.3L gets around 550kms before the light comes on, its a 2000 5 speed, so that might have something to do with it. I figure if im good on her i can get about 700 km's to a tank, 75 of those clicks being after the light comes on. I like crossing the border to the usa and filling the tank for 42 bucks

Haha good thing i stumbled upon this, my dad was just b****ing about it on his 2000. Maybe it should be stickied?

Mine puts out a lot of white smoke if its been sitting for a while. But I just let it idle till it goes away. sometimes for half an hour or more!

My truck still had the oem shocks and its at 340,000kms, granted they're getting a little tired. But they've lasted a looooong time on my 93. And the adjustable part still works. And then my friend took my truck wheeling and broke them off along with some other parts

I went almost 100 kms in the r50 with the light on, and when i went to fill it it took 68L Our gauge must be like yours trainman, as when it reads half full, its more like 5/8's full. In my wd21, it was nearly empty and I put 18~L in and it went up to 1/4 so...

a socket set, a jack, can of pb blaster just in case the nuts are rusty, and a can of anti seize to put on the threads. Im pretty sure thats it. As it was all i needed when i removed my shocks.
